Finally, you can start that pr0n site you've always wanted and slap on a .xxx domain designation (i.e. http://www.dinoassbiting.xxx). I just pre-registered like 40 sites! (38 dino, two robot-torture fetish).

The board of net overseer Icann [Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers] gave initial approval for the creation of the .xxx domain at its conference in Brussels.

Icann's approval will kick off a fast-track process to get the porn-only domain set up.

ICM Registry, which is backing the domain, said .xxx would make it easier to filter out inappropriate content.

The decision ends a long campaign by ICM Registry to win approval.

Stuart Lawley, chairman of ICM, welcomed the decision and said it was "great news for those that wish to consume, or avoid, adult content".
